SWYPE New update brings theme options finally - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

You heard it first here at XDA, New SWYPE BETA update brings awesome gesture feature and different theme options.
www.Swype.com

I'm loving the new version. Many themes, looks sleeker, and they moved the hyphen to the first symbols page which was always a huge pain for me.

Swype did it again.
Built-in theming AND soft vibrate on keypress.
Brilliant!

Could someone mirror the beta installer? I've tried to download the installer a few times and am not getting the email....

Can anyone confirm if this version uses more RAM? On my SGS III it is using 44MB, phone has been on for 25 hours.
But on my LG Thrill 4G, it is still on the older version (1.1.1.7628) and using 18MB for the past 16 hours.

I'm at 35mb after 12 hours but I noticed they put a lot more work into Swype connect so the app is only using about 20mb & the Swypeconnect part is at about 15mb. I also noticed after signing in to it to back up my dictionary that somehow all my words are gone.. go figure. Hopefully I can get it back through titanium or something.

Thanks. I use cm10 and add your know doesn't come with Swype so just that alone keeps me from having to flash back and forth from tw two cm and back and forth. Little details but like some of you know its the little things can make it or break it.

You're comparing peanuts to peanuts in a sea of 2GB. I'd still be using Swype even if it was hogging... 25% of my ram, but, atm, it's only eating 39MB.

just a quick question I installed it on my phone running frosty JB v2 and the keyboard works great but I don't have theme options anyone else have this?
BTW tried it on an aokp rom and themes were there, any ideas how to get it working with both roms?

Just updated. Thank God for a nice black theme like I had on my RAZR, and now "i" is auto-capitalizing to "I"properly again. Second one was REALLY bugging me.
Will be interesting to see the new Swiftkey swype offering tough.

The gestures are pretty handy when i remember to use them.
Themes look nice. The voice to text is very good (unless this uses the native Google engine? )
How long has this beta been around? Are they eventually going to put a release on the android market?

It uses the Dragon Go voice engine. Dragon Go is an app in the market as well, pretty handy.
That's a good question, It's been beta since the original galaxy s. I don't know when they are going to make it official.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

I think the beta is used to test out new features which they include to OEMs. Not sure they are going to put out an actual app in the Marketplace.

I didn't see the soft vibrate on keypress.

{ROM} [Sprint][CDMA][EXT4] Samsung Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) 1n1tia|C0ntact_V_1_6

Alright all you XDA SGT users I humbly submit my custom ROM!
This is the first release of the AlienInc Roms rightly named 1n1tia|C0ntact. Inside you will find themed UI, wallpaper (please note the new live wallpaper "Node Battle"), some of my favorite apks, debloated and ready to roll. Oh yeah you will also notice in the screen shots the Over Clocked/Under Volted kernel. I baked in a super stable and very snappy kernel built by Rodderik called LiquidTab. I'm very sure you will enjoy that!
Features:RFS and EXT4 support
Up to 1.2GHz Overclock/undervolt support with Voodoo Support (use voltage control baked in ROM or DL from market)
Custom Theme and UI
Custom Charger sounds
LauncherPro baked in along with touchwiz for your pleasure
Debloated and snappy
working screen capture using stock ROM features(no need for clunky 3rd party stuff)
Evernote
Fancy Widgets
Dropbox
AdAway
ES File Explorer
MyBackup Root
Disclaimer: As with everything else you have found on XDA, neither the staff nor I am responsible for anything that you do to your tab or for anything these files may do to your equipment. All I am able to tell you is that this worked perfectly on my SGT and has worked perfectly on others...no reason to think it will not work on yours.
Recognition section: Obviously big thanks goes to Rodderik for the work done in the "mega thread" and for letting me use his new kernel he is working in my ROM
Insanity213-big help getting me going
S0ckM0nk3y-im off the bench now man! thanks for your help!
Computerkid-all sorts of great input, if you have an epic try his roms
jocala-thanks for testing!
XXCoder - sweet live wallpaper thanks for the tip
Ok so here's the lowdown:
1)visit Rodderik's thread and get your tab in flashing order LINK: [SPRINT][CDMA]Samsung Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread - best case scenario would be to walk through his thread completely first then flash my ROM over top. I recommend you convert to EXT4 to get your speed on
2) download my ROM Mirror or MAIN DOWNLOAD
3) flash via your newly installed CWM
a) you know the drill on the 2 finger boot into recovery(volume up and power; hold volume up until you see CWM).
b) wipe cache x3, wipe data x3, wipe dalvik cache x3 ( no reason to worry about losing any info because you just followed Rodderik's install process, right?)
c) select install zip from sd and choose the file
4) ROM will reboot and you will be off to a fresh start
5) tell your friends about how fun and fast this ROM is
ENJOY!
Reserved...not sure why, but thats what people do
Once more, just to make post count 567
Looks interesting. Might just tempt me away from CM7 for a couple days...

Sure thing! So did you convert up to EXT4?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I did...or so i think i did, via option 2 on the prereq page (Mega starter etc etc).
I ended up using the kernel with EXT4 and CWM. I checked to see if CWM was installed, which it was...so as far as EXT4 being converted, would their be a real test or for me to know for sure?
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17817306&postcount=5
So if you read through this post you will see the cwm flashable conversion tools. You can do it anytime. You will notice a difference. Things will be noticably snappy.
Thanks for flashing!

I've never tried it on a verizon tab, but I've heard you can flash cdma roms across those carriers. 3g works on sprint on this rom. If you flash it on your verizon the 3g won't work, your tab will be wifi only. Again, I've not tested it personally. Give it a shot and report back to us if you want.

Because it's touch wiz and I love touchwiz seriously. Plus I can pinch to zoom out with the Samsung one where as the crappy stock one u can't also the aestheics and also has split screen mode. Some people actually like oem skins don't think we all automatically love stock cuz its pure android. Yea stock is nice but it lacks features in some areas
Also not doing any modding just trying to install a simple apk but the stupid things is not letting me. Also for some reason in cwm or through rom manager its not letting me fix the permissions its says "there was a problem running the command" or something like that.. Weird

There was an original? I thought I looked everywhere when I first got the phone, but was disappointed when I didnt find it in any settings. I was more surprised than anything because my Galaxy Player 5 had a swiping keyboard and that was running Gingerbread...I wouldnt mind trying out this keyboard.
jwitt, do you know if it's as easy as pulling out the APK? Does it have any dependencies on TouchWiz or any other libs?
If you are talking about Swype you can get it from their website. There is always a beta because it is always being developed.

I'm gettting an error with your link. I just came back from tmobile and there was an awesome keyboard on the bulletproof rom for s2. It was multi-swipe and captioned what you were spelling as you went. Was in settings as android keyboard, I ripped it with titanium then installed on my s3 and killed my phone, had to install a rom to bring it back. Dont know if its the one you were talking about, was a jellybean rom though, would love to have it back.

You don't click install. After you paste, change permissions,reboot it should be there when you select your keyboard. If you hit install in system apps, it will always come back as "application not installed"

Over at the original note themes and apps thread. The 7000. There is a bunch of other note 8 apps. Most are apk swaps with some sort of root explorer. There is a couple of flash able zips as well. You have to use xposed framework to change dpi for it to work well. All the instructions are there. The only things I can't get to work is the video player and tw home. The rest work and look good. Especially the message app. Just giving you guys a heads up about it.

So, the information is all correct, but it is not putting on the calendar properly.
any others noticed this happening or know of fix?

A lot of whining and it seemed likely as it was an installable app on 4.3 with no porting required.
And it messes with the app drawer bringing it to 4 icons across instead of 5. Arggg. Back to apex

GEL is still exclusive to Nexus 5 and looks like crap on most other phones and tablets (4 icon rows). Everyone else they got a big Google Now update w/ an option to install an APK copied from another phone.
4 Icon rows looks ok on my N4 i think? Or do you mean in the app draw?
I had GEL accidentally running on 4.3. I flashed an AOSP KitKat ROM and that had it, then reverted to 4.3 and it stayed... Until I wiped cache
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I guess, so far, I'm the only one here liking (or at least, not minding) the new 4 by 5 layout. It seems a little inconsistent at times because some app icons seem a little low-res, but I'm sure app devs will fix that sooner rather than later. Also, the one tiny annoyance I have with the new launcher, is the missing app drawer Play Store icon on the top right. I really got used to that. Oh well, something's gotta give.

Ok, found one glitch. I'm unable to activate Google Now from the lockscreen with a swipe up. Google Now does open in the background, but I have to manually unlock the phone for it to show.
I actually like the 4 columns of the app drawer vs 5 that was on the previous version much less cluttered

Ok, found one glitch. I'm unable to activate Google Now from the lockscreen with a swipe up. Google Now does open in the background, but I have to manually unlock the phone for it to show.

I think that's normal behavior - otherwise someone could open Google Now > Search Google > Open a result in Chrome > Use Chrome to browse to a malicious site, all without having to know your unlock pattern.
Unless you're on the normal unsecure swipe ring unlock in which case yeah I'd consider that a glitch :good:

Loving this launcher now! The only thing that bothered me about the old N5 ported version was the 5 column app drawer - looked so squashed and awkward, now it's perfect I only wish the scrolling were faster, I'm so used to Nova's "faster than light" setting, but I'll get used to it. And I think the fact that they've made the grid responsive to different screen sizes would imply that they will be bringing it to the play store eventually.

Has anyone tried OK Google? I'm in work right now so I can't test it without looking like I've lost my marbles, everyone else here has an iPhone so they wouldn't know whats I'm trying to do :laugh:
Ok google from the home screen works fine for me, assume the voice search language still needs to be English US

Ah. I'm not willing to switch to US English for a feature I'll probably never use, but good to know it's possible anyway.
Does anyone know if the new Google search/Google now allows you to "send hangout" rather than just "send message". Since hangouts is now the default messenger in KitKat, it would only make sense... But I already have a feeling I know the answer before asking

I can't get "ok google" to initiate anything. Language is set to US English, voice search works fine if I click the microphone icon then speak, it just won't do anything if I say "ok google".
The option for hot word detection is enabled in the settings as well.
